To My Dad With Love
September 12, 2008
I thought of you with love today,
But this is nothing new,
I thought of you yesterday and the days before that too.
I think of you in silence and
often speak you name.
All I have now are memories,
and your picture in a frame.
It broke my hearts to lose you,
But you didn’t go alone.
A part of me went with you
Today God took you home.
